I've decided to base what my characters look like on one or more of my friends, and what they act like on another. That sometimes doesn't work, so I decide to pour some of myself into that mixture. Or, I just create a character from scratch. I think most of my characters have a little bit of what makes up me in them. Eve from Plastic Stars, for instance, has a bit of the lonliness and depression I've felt after losing a loved one just this year. Eve is different from all of my other characters. She has feelings and thoughts. She's really advanced from other works I've created.
This probably didn't help, but that's something I do.
